The First Time
Hello, I'm new here (I just passed the registration quizz! That was quite easy, I only failed at the captcha) and new at making games too, but I've got a game in production to show so I suppose I'm in the right place. (I'm also french so, please excuse me if my english isn't good enough).
The story :
This game is called The First Time (in french : La Première Fois), mainly because it is the first time I work on a game. This game doesn't really have a « story », I suppose it is too short for that, but it has a main theme : The creation process, or the difficulty to make a game, especially when you're a lazy beginner. This game is entirely improvised, and I didn't know what it will look like when it will be finished. Now, I can see more precisely, so I dare post on this forum.
The main character is...a main character. He has no background, no real design at first, he's just the main character of a game, and he's aware of it. At the beginning of the game, he meets a lazy talking pigeon...and this lazy talking pigeon is in fact a representation of the creator, myself. A « Mise en abyme » like we say in french.
Yeah...I know it seems a bit weird...
Then, the quest of the character will be to help the pigeon finishing the game. I can say much more because the game (this is supposed to be the first chapter) is very short, and I don't want to spoil everything.
The graphics :
As I'm not good at drawing (it is my first time too), I chosed a very simple pixel-art style, as you can see on the screenshots
The music :
Some musicians friends of mine will work on the music. It will probably be the best part of the game ^^.
The game will be released first in french (next month maybe) and I also want to translate it in english. But as you can't see, my english isn't excessively good.
To be honnest, I'm really not sure The First Time will be a good game, but hey, it's my first time!

Bonjour
Theres a first time for everything and AGS is a really good place to start in regards to getting into game development. I actually really like your art style here, sometimes simple is a good thing. plus your lead character est un funky homme!
Looking forward to giving it a play, I can just about get by with my French but a translation would be great.
'The Distress of the white page'? I see this is going to be quite surreal too haha.
Keep it up man!
I think the graphics are just great :f )
Thank you. It's very encouraging. I'll try to work hard on it to finish it as soon as possible. I just have to find some time...
